SAFETY Operator Safety Stay Clear of Track Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track that must be partially exposed for proper operation. WARNING Serious injuries may result if hands, feet, or clothing become entangled in the track. Be alert when riding, and remain properly seated to stay clear of the track. Never hold the snowmobile up or stand behind it while warming up the track. A loose track or flying debris could cause serious injury or death. We recommend having your dealer perform all track service and alignment procedures. Stay Clear of Engine Never attempt adjustments with the engine running. Turn off the ignition, raise the hood, make the adjustment, secure shields and guards, secure the hood, and then restart the engine to check its operation. WARNING Serious injury can occur if fingers or clothing contact the moving parts of an engine. Always stop the engine before attempting adjustments. Riding Position Operating a snowmobile requires skill and balance for proper control. Rider positions may vary with experience; but under many conditions, the proper position is to be seated with both feet on the running boards and both hands on the handlebar grips for proper throttle, brake and steering control. WARNING Improper riding position may reduce control and could result in serious injury or death. Always ride in a position that allows for control of your vehicle. 10
